Sorry the explanation is wrong. Then the question is not properly framed. Questions should be aimed at eliciting understanding....
Even if go is not a standard tsql, then by default i will not add it cos this will depend on my environment.....It does not add to knowledge...no use asking trick questions....

Maybe you can explain
why
you think the explanation is wrong? I am very pleased with the explanation - it not only tells you why the correct answer is correct, it also gives you some backgrounds, and a warning. I think it's very well done, so I am looking forward to an explanation of why you feel so different about it.
Also, can you explain why the question is, in your opinion, not properly framed? Is that refering to the yes/no vs true/false debate, or is there something else that should have been different?

It appears to me to be right, to be properly framed (at least for fluent English speakers - for others the distinction between yes/no and true/false may be important), and to be very clearly aimed at eliciting understanding.
Can you explain why you reach the opposite conculsion on each of these three points?

The given answer to this question is "true", but I am not sure this is correct. The "NotGo" throws an error "Incorrect syntax near 'NotGo'" and the variable @Test cannot be declared twice the same procedure or batch...What am I missing?
I felt the same way about this question. But knowing that you can configure things as suggested is a great thing to know about and avoid. Worth learning and even missing the answer to know.

It may be worth mentioning (and honestly I'm not sure I haven't already as long as this discussion as gotten) that the first time I encountered this was when I received a script from a vendor using a non standard batch separator. I had to struggle to figure out what was wrong. My original purpose for this question was to help show others what can be done. Not so that they can use it, since honestly I don't think they should, but so if someone else makes use of this functionality they can easily work around it.
And lets be honest, I find it a rather interesting piece of SQL trivia.

I'm not sure why they made "GO" a configurable batch separator. I'm sure they had a reason that is beyond me but the question is not nonsense in the fact it was something I never knew and even thought about but am aware of now due to this question.

The question was not clear at all...at a surface while using 'notgo', the entire script should prone to a failure..
Thanks.

Please read the explanation and the previous 79 posts. That should explain it quite thoroughly. If not please post again and I'll try to explain it in a different way.
